• Vinyl Record: Very Good Plus (VG+). The heavy vinyl disc is exceptionally clean, keeping its deep, high-gloss original luster across both playing surfaces. Closer inspection under light reveals only a minor few faint paper-sleeve storage lines. Plays beautifully with deep orchestral presence, bright horn sections, and minimal background noise.
• Labels: Excellent. The classic black and silver Columbia text labels are highly crisp and clean with zero writing or fading, showing minimal spindle trails around the center hole.
• Picture Sleeve: Very Good (VG). The original front-laminated sleeve is structurally complete, sturdy, and upright. The gloss coating on the front is clear with minor handling creases, while the matte white reverse panel displays typical natural pre-owned age-toning and mild storage edge rubbing. The illustrated EMI advertising inner sleeve is preserved.
